This course, I felt, was very good at laying out all the basic concepts of computers, how they work, and fundamentals of being an IT specialist. I enjoyed the content and felt that it was clear and concise. I learned a lot and hope to continue learning as much in the next courses.

I learned a lot from this course, and it even helped me to better understand things that I already knew about. This course had smooth and easy to follow instructions that I was able to apply to possible scenarios. Thank you, I look forward to learning more from the next 5 courses.

Great way to start diving into the field of IT Support! Great content and I really enjoy that I get to learn about something I'm interested in with the detail of support and flexible time allowed to complete the course. Way to go Google and Coursera! Ready for the next chapter!

This was a really great course. Most of it was a refresher for me as I have many years in IT, but no certifications. After leaving IT for a few years to work in Point of Sale (POS), I feel now is an opportune time to re-enter the IT field and pursue obtaining some certifications.

I don't come from an IT background but after this course, it really lays out the fundamentals of the IT field. I would recommend to anyone that wants to start in IT with no background. Its a good refershers, possibly, for those that have a little bit of experience in it as well.

I found great how the lessons were relatively small, bite-sized videos, but still with all the relevant content, and even tips from experts on the field. I feel that kept me engaged and wanting to go for one more videos and eventually complete a whole section's or week's content.

Excellent intro to IT class. The course was very well presented and flowed naturally for someone with a novice understanding of IT. Being able to build a computer and perform simple coding exercises was awesome. And so was everything else I learned. This course builds confidence.

IT-Ready Technical Support students learn skills such as building a computer from parts, installing software, troubleshooting problems and setting up and managing networks. You'll also learn softer professional skills such as communication, customer service and job interviewing

I started this course with very little knowledge of Information Technology as a career field. I feel that completing this course has given me a solid foundation regarding what the field is about, as well as providing me with the fundamental knowledge to get my education started.

Extremely helpful course if you want to learn the basics of IT and how computers work to interact with each other. If you are looking to jump into the IT field, I highly recommend this course to use a start and from there you can find out what field of IT you may want to pursue.

It works for people who have knowledge on the IT field because this course is very updated, you can review all that you learned with this course. It also works for people who don't have an idea of what IT is. If you want to dive into the tech field, you need to take this course!

I feel like this course really taught me some great fundamentals. A lot of times, you see courses like this, but they're very bare bones, and leave a lot of information untouched. I don't see this course this way. I'm really looking forward to the next modules in the course.

This course changed my mind about what I thought was possible. As I progressed in this course I realized how closely related my current job is to this one the biggest difference being that sales are not a part of it. I cannot wait to apply this knowledge and start my job search.

I really recommend this course who think that they know about everything about tech fundamentals(as me :)) but believe me, there are a lot of things that you don't know, but no need to worry because this awesome course will explain everything that u need to know. Thanks, Google!

Even if you know some of the topics beforehand, this course is a great refresher for those pursuing IT, and an even better starting point for people who have only begun to interact with computers. Its both easy to learn, flexible around your work schedule, and quick to complete.

For a beginners course there was a lot of context to go through, but with the help of taking notes and able to re-watch videos I understood it. I think it was a great introductory course for the IT field, I would and have recommended this course to others that may be interested.

I enjoyed this class very much. My mind is blown by IPv4 and the implementation of IPv6.

Only thing I would like to point out and it not a con just a suggestion. Think about having a list of terms and acronyms. That part got a little confusing for me, luckily I took great notes.
